The measurements of monochromatic line-of-sight flame emission and light transmission in the same path having small spatial resolution were performed in an axisymmetric laminar propane $C_{3}H_{8}$ diffusion flame. The light wavelengthes of 632 nm, 800nm, 900nm were used. From these measurements, local point soot radiances (by Kirchhoff's law) and absorption coefficients were reconstructed by tomography. Thus local point soot temperatures and concentrations were obtained. The reconstructed soot temperatures and concentrations of local points have no differences between the case of visible range (632 nm) and the case of infrared range (800 nm and 900 nm). In these ranges, the scattering coefficient is much lower than the absorption coefficient. Soot mean temperature over the path also matches well with local soot temperature in outer region of the flame. Temperature measurement by thermocouple with different bead diameters $(222{\mu}m and 308{\mu}m)$ was carried in the same flame. Rapid insertion technique was used and radiation effect was considered. Radiation correction in the sooting region was carried out and the corrected result was in good agreement with the local soot temperature.

The uncooled microbolometer thermal sensor for low cost and mass volume was designed to target the new infrared market that includes smart device, automotive, energy management, and so on. The microbolometer sensor features 80x60 pixels low-resolution format and enables the use of wafer-level vacuum packaging (WLVP) technology. Read-out IC (ROIC) implements infrared signal detection and offset correction for fixed pattern noise (FPN) using an internal digital to analog convertor (DAC) value control function. A reliable WLVP thermal sensor was obtained with the design of lid wafer, the formation of Au80%wtSn20% eutectic solder, outgassing control and wafer to wafer bonding condition. The measurement of thermal conductance enables us to inspect the internal atmosphere condition of WLVP microbolometer sensor. The difference between the measurement value and design one is $3.6{\times}10-9$ [W/K] which indicates that thermal loss is mainly on account of floating legs. The mean time to failure (MTTF) of a WLVP thermal sensor is estimated to be about 10.2 years with a confidence level of 95 %. Reliability tests such as high temperature/low temperature, bump, vibration, etc. were also conducted. Devices were found to work properly after accelerated stress tests. A thermal camera with visible camera was developed. The thermal camera is available for non-contact temperature measurement providing an image that merged the thermal image and the visible image.

We have seen rapid changes in road systems and networks in urban areas due to fast urbanization and increased traffic demands. As a result, many researchers have put greater importance on extraction, correction and updating of information about road systems. Also, by using the various data on road systems and its condition, we can manage our road more efficiently and economically. Furthermore, such information can be used as input for digital map and GIS analysis. In this research, we used a high resolution aerial photo of the roads in Seongnam area. First, we applied the top-hat filter to the area of interest so that the road markings could be extracted in an efficient manner. The lane separation lines were selected, considering the shape similarity between the selected lane separation line and reference data. Next, we extracted the roads in the urban area using the aforementioned road marking. Using this technique, we could easily extract roads in urban area in semi-automatic way.

Multi-functional Transport Satellite lR(MTSAT-lR)과 같은 정지궤도 기상위성의 지상 전처리 과정에는 영상위치보정(Image navigation and registration)이 포함된다. 영상위치보정은 위성 영상의 기하학적인 왜곡을 보정하는 과정이다. 랜드마크를 이용하는 영상위치보정 과정은 랜드마크 결정과 센서 모델 추정， 리샘플링(Resampling)의 세 가지 단계로 나눌 수 있다. MTSAT-1R의 High Resolution Image Data(HiRID)는 이미 영상위치보정이 수행되었지만, 기하학적인 오차가 남아있는 영상을 포함하기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 이런 기하학적인 오차를 제거하기 위해서 강인추정 기법에 기반한 기하보정을 수행하였다. 이태윤 등 (2005)은 강인추정 기법과 Direct Linear Transformation (DLT)에 기반한 오정합 판별 방법을 제안하였다. 이 판별 방법을 적용하여 추정된 DLT로 MTSAT-1R 영상의 기하보정을 수행한 결과에는 향상된 정확도로 기하보정 된 영상 뿐만 아니라 비교적 큰 오차를 포함하는 영상도 있었다. 이를 해결하기 위해서 본 연구에서는 강인추정 기법과 Affine 변환을 이용한 방법을 적용하였다. 본 연구에서는 기준 해안선에서 추출한 1,407개의 랜드마크와 8개의 MTSAT-1R 영상을 이용하였으며，강인추정 기법에 DLT를 적용한 방법과 Affine 변환을 적용한 방법으로 자동 기하보정을 수행하여 그 결과를 비교하였다. 또한 강인추정 기볍 중 RANSAC과 MSAC의 적용 결과를 비교하여 보았다. 그 결과，DLT로 기하보정 시，본 논문에서 제안된 방법이 강인추정 기법에 DLT를 적용한 방법 보다 더 좋은 성능을 보여주었다.

2008년 12월에 우리나라 최초의 통신해양기상위성(Communications， Oceanography and Meteorology Satellite, COMS)이 발사될 예정이다. 통신해양기상위성의 영상데이터의 기하보정을 위하여 다음과 같은 연구를 수행하였다. 기상위성은 정지궤도상에 위치하여 전지구적인 영상을 얻는다. 영상의 전지구적인 해안선은 구름 등으로 가려져서 명확한 정보를 제공할 수 없게 된다. 구름 등으로 방해되지 않는 명확한 해안선 정보를 얻기 위하여 구름 추출을 한다. 실시간으로 기상정보를 얻는 기상위성의 특성상 정합에 전체 영상을 사용하면 수행시간이 다소 소요된다. 정합시 전체 영상에서 정합을 위한 후보점 추출을 위하여 GSHHS(Global Self-consistent Hierarchical High-resolution Shoreline)의 해안선 데이터베이스를 사용하여 211 개 의 랜드마크 칩들을 구축하였다. 이때 구축된 랜드마크 칩은 실험에 사용한 GOES-9의 위치 동경 155도를 반영하여 구축하였다. 전체 영상에서 구축된 랜드마크 칩들의 위치를 중심으로 구름추출을 수행한다. 전체 211 개의 후보점 중 구름이 제거된 나머지 후보점에 대하여 정합을 수행한다. 랜드마크 칩과 위성영상 간의 정합 중 참정합과 오정합이 존재하는데 자동으로 오정합을 검출하기 위하여 강인추정기법 (RANSAC, Random Sample Consensus)을 사용한다. 이때 자동으로 판별되어 오정합이 제거된 정합결과로 최종적인 기하보정을 수행한다. 기하보정을 위한 센서모델은 GOES-9 위성의 센서특정을 고려하여 개발되었다. 정합 및 RANSAC결과로 얻어진 기준점으로 정밀 센서모델을 수립하여 기하보정을 실시하였다. 이때 일련의 수행과정을 통신해양기상위성의 실시간 처리요구사항에 맞도록 속도를 최적화하여 진행되도록 개발하였다.

The purpose of this comparison of case reports is to introduce the results of the application of new devices for the management of growing Class III malocclusions in children. Two 8-year-old boys had a chief complaint of anterior crossbite. Anterior crossbite correction using a tandem traction bow appliance (TTBA) or a Carriere Motion 3D Class III appliance with a Transforce appliance was planned. By comparing cephalometric radiographs before and after treatment, changes in skeletal growth and incisor inclination to the Frankfort horizontal (FH) plane could be measured. Both devices increased SNA and ANB angles, N-I Pg-A, U1 to SN, and U1 to FH. Both appliances improved facial features and resolution of anterior crossbite. The TTBA and Carriere Motion 3D Class III appliance had similar effects when applied as early treatment for growing mesio-occlusions and anterior crossbite in two boys. However, long-term outcome assessments and well-designed comparative studies are still required.

The western coast of South Korea is famous for its large and broad tidal lands. Nevertheless, land reclamation, which has been conducted on a large scale, such as Sihwa embankment construction project has accelerated coastal environmental changes in the embankment inland. For monitoring of environmental change, vegetation change detecting of the embankment inland were carried out and field survey data compared with Landsat TM, ETM+, IKONOS, and EOC satellite remotely sensed data. In order to utilize multi-temporal remotely sensed images effectively, all data set with pixel size were analyzed by same geometric correction method. To detect the tidal land vegetation change, the spectral characteristics and spatial resolution of Landsat TM and ETM+ images were analyzed by SMA(spectral mixture analysis). We obtained the 78.96% classification accuracy and Kappa index 0.2376 using March 2000 Landsat data. The SMA(spectral mixture analysis) results were considered with comparing of vegetation seasonal change detection method.

Background: Cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) is a promising material because of a high detection efficiency, good energy resolution, and operability at room temperature. However, the cost of CZT dramatically increases as its size increases. In this study, to achieve a large effective volume with relatively low cost, an array structure comprised of individual virtual Frisch-grid CZT detectors was proposed. Materials and Methods: The prototype consisted of 2 × 2 CZTs, a holder, anode and cathode printed circuit boards (PCBs), and an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). CZTs were used and the non-contacting shielding electrode method was applied for virtual Frisch-grid effect. An ASIC was used, and the holder and the PCBs were fabricated. In the current system, because the CZTs formed a common cathode, a total of 5 channels were assigned for data processing. Results and Discussion: An experiment using ¹³⁷Cs at room temperature was conducted for 10 minutes. Energy and timing information was acquired and the depth of interaction was calculated by the timing difference between the signals of both electrodes. Based on obtained three-dimensional position information, the energy correction was carried out, and as a result the energy spectra showed the improvements. In addition, a Compton image was reconstructed using the iterative method. Conclusion: The virtual Frisch-grid CZT detector based on the array structure was developed and the energy spectra and the Compton image were successfully acquired.

Fractures of frontal sinus account for 5%-12% of all fractures of facial skeleton. Inadequately treated frontal sinus injuries may result in malposition of sinus structures, as well as subsequent distortion of the overlying soft tissue. Such inappropriate treatment can result in aesthetic complaints (contour deformity) as well as medical complications (recurrent sinusitis, mucocele or mucopyocele, osteomyelitis of the frontal bone, meningitis, encephalitis, brain abscess or thrombosis of the cavernous sinus) with potentially fatal outcomes. Frontal contour deformity warrants surgical intervention. Although deformities should be corrected by the deficiency in tissue type, skin and soft tissue correction is considered better choice than bone surgery because of minimal invasiveness. Development of infection in the postoperative period requires all secondary operations to be delayed, pending the resolution of infectious symptoms. The anterior cranial fossa must be isolated from the nasal cavity to prevent infectious complications. Because most of the complications are related to infection, frontal sinus fractures require extensive surgical debridement and adequate restructuring of the anatomy. The authors suggest surgeons to be familiar with various methods of treatment available in the prevention and management of complications following frontal sinus fractures, which is helpful in making the proper decision for secondary frontal sinus fracture surgery.

In gravity data correction process, mass effect of the upper part of base level is removed with Bouguer density. Usually, Bouguer density is estimated as a mean density in the field area. But, this may causes a serious problem when ore body is in the area. To overcome this problem, we tried to apply a new method mixing up mass corrections and inversion (3DGTI). 3-D Gravity Terrain Inversion (3DGTI) includes information of topography and distribution of Bouguer density. For this method does not remove the mass effect above base level, it is no longer useless to use Bouguer density. Numerical model tests have shown that the 3DGIT successfully retrieves the anomalous subsurface density distribution of both surface and deeper layers. Model tests shows that this method shows better results than those of conventional one, especially when main target is ore body. The inversion result well delineates the three-dimensional shape of the intruded granite body and basement.
